General duties of a student:pull everything out of your teacher.pull everything out of your fellow students.General duties of a teacher: pull everything out of your students.Consider everything an experiment.Be self-disciplined.Nothing is a mistake. There's no win and no fail, there's only make.The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something.It's the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things. You can fool the fans but not the players.Don't try to create and analyze at the same time. They're different processes.Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself.
